"The steam train that's been a beloved attraction inside Tilden Regional Park in the East Bay for seven decades may be on its way out for good. The San Francisco Chronicle reports the private owner of the train is threatening to shut it down if she doesn't get a long-term contract from the East Bay Regional Park District. She's been operating on a month-to-month deal for seven years, which the owner says does not allow for capital improvements."
"The train has been running through the park since 1952. About 250,000 people ride it each year."
A privately owned steam train at Tilden Regional Park faces possible shutdown unless a long-term contract is granted by the East Bay Regional Park District. The operator has worked under a month-to-month agreement for seven years and states that arrangement prevents necessary capital improvements. The steam train has operated in the park since 1952 and attracts roughly 250,000 riders annually. The lack of contractual stability is presented as the primary barrier to investment and continued operation of the longstanding attraction.
